As recycling plants in Peru expand to handle increasing volumes of mixed steel scrap, throughput has become a critical performance indicator. Processing delays, equipment limitations, and inefficient scrap preparation can quickly restrict a plant’s ability to meet market demand and delivery schedules.
Mixed scrap—combining thick plates, structural steel, pipes, and heavy offcuts—poses particular challenges. Without sufficient compression power, recyclers struggle to achieve consistent bale density, leading to inefficient transport and lower material value.
Large recycling plants require equipment capable of processing heavy and irregular scrap continuously. Low-capacity machines often become bottlenecks, forcing plants to slow intake rates or operate longer hours to meet output targets.
Inconsistent bale quality further complicates operations, making stacking, storage, and loading less efficient and increasing logistics costs.
To address these issues, Peruvian recycling plants are increasingly investing in high-capacity hydraulic metal balers designed specifically for mixed scrap applications. The Y83-250 metal baler, manufactured by Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd., is engineered to deliver strong compression and stable output for demanding industrial environments.
With significantly higher nominal pressing force, the Y83-250 can handle thicker and heavier scrap materials with ease. Its enlarged compression chamber accommodates bulky loads, allowing recyclers to process mixed scrap streams without excessive pre-treatment.
The powerful hydraulic system enables the Y83-250 to produce dense bales consistently, even when processing complex scrap combinations. Each compression cycle is optimized to balance speed and pressure, supporting high hourly throughput while maintaining bale integrity.
Uniform, high-density bales improve downstream efficiency. They are easier to stack, transport, and load into containers, enabling plants to move larger quantities of scrap with fewer shipments.
High-volume recycling plants demand machines that can operate reliably over extended periods. The Y83-250 is equipped with an industrial-grade power system suitable for continuous operation, helping plants maintain stable output throughout the day.
The turn-out bale discharge mechanism ensures smooth bale removal, reducing downtime between cycles and keeping production lines flowing without interruption.
Built under ISO9001-certified manufacturing standards, the Y83-250 reflects Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery’s commitment to quality and performance. Recycling plants benefit from a one-year warranty and lifelong maintenance support, minimizing operational risk and ensuring long-term return on investment.
For Peruvian recycling plants handling large volumes of mixed scrap, throughput is the key to competitiveness. High-capacity metal balers like the Y83-250 provide the compression strength, efficiency, and reliability needed to keep operations running at full potential.
By delivering robust solutions tailored to real-world recycling challenges, Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. helps Peruvian recyclers transform mixed scrap into dense, transport-ready bales—unlocking higher productivity and sustainable growth.
